Google officially released Chrome for Mac and Linux.
Grab the x86 .deb package here, and run dpkg -i google-chrome-unstable_current_i386.deb
Got around to installing Chrome on my Thinkpad running Xubuntu. I can say for sure that it uses less resources compared to Firefox. For the most part, it works. Google stresses that it's not suitable for general use, there are many privacy features that just aren't there yet. I haven't had it crash...yet.
